the proper answer is an 8.or if these rowers are using two blades (sculling) it is called an octuplate
Its due to refraction. The same way a pencil seems broken in a beaker of water.
the stroke is not a side it is a certain seat in the boat. the stroke is the seat closest to the stern of the boat. in an 8 man boat it is seat number 8 with bow being seat number 1. in a four it is the number 4 seat and so on and so forth
It looks like a Winslow Homer painting but I have yet to find the exact picture. It may not exist.
The origin of the word dinghy is beyond dispute. It is well documented that it comes from the Hindi or Bengali word dingi or dengi, which means a native rowing boat used on Indian rivers. Modern English dictionaries define it as 'a small boat propelled by oars, sail or motor.' Older dictionaries as 'a small extra boat in a man-of-war or a small pleasure rowing boat'; also allowing the alternative spellings, dingey or dingy.
The most well known rowing event at the Olympic games involves the eight (8+) rowing shell. This shell is very fast with eight oarsmen producing a huge amount of power propelling this 65-foot boat.
there is no such boat that exists. in rowing there are single man boats (1x or referred to as a single) a 2 man boat (referred to as a double or a pair) a 4 man boat (a four) or an 8 man boat (an eight). including the coxswain there can be a 5 man boat in a four but not six ^^This is incorrect as a 6 does exist though it is not very common, people don't race in 6's and most people don't know they exist unless their club owns one. I don't know exactly what they are called but I guess it's easiest to just refer to it as a 6
if you mean eights or pairs, than eights are faster BY FAR. Although the boat is bigger and heavier, having 4x times the man power and 4x the oars propels the boat throughout the water much faster than a boat with only 2 people and 2 oars.
